As long as you're not incredibly dumb in the midgame you're fine.
Erm if you're pushing with your team then yes, cuz you can afford to put down a sentry to counter his initiation. But the fact there's a Nyx on the map means you can't go anywhere alone out of risk of getting instagibbed. And pro players might actually get a blink on Nyx, which means he can still get you in teamfights.

It's about whoever is ahead. If Nyx is playing better and getting more active, then Nyx is a threat, if he isn't then the matchup goes to Skywrath as you can justify a gem after arcanes in that situation. It's the same as if you have a bane vs a Nyx.
Also if you've forced a Nyx to get blink just to get to you, that isn't a bad thing.

Honestly from what i've seen recently it looks like nyx is slowing moving out of being a first pick first banned hero, teams have learned how to play against him. And apart from the "sentry tax" he doesn't seem to have that big of an impact anymore on most games.

Well yes but getting a gem on Skywrath is.. pretty risky 
About the caster hate, I don't have a problem with Luminous normally, infact I followed him from the start of his casting career, but listening to this is just unbearable :D

sneyking is in for a bad time here lol

Funny thing is the few seconds I had the commentary on, EE was daying he was sure that the Skywrath would be a support and thus wouldn't lane vs the Mag.. While it's just obvious you'd want him to do exactly that

makes you appreciate how crushing dendi can be with what he showed on skywrath vs mag when compared to how relatively even this lane has been so far.

Singsing is failing hard mid

sing is no dendi with skymage

Dignitas not even playing like a top 10 western team at the moment ._.

5 man mid kills aren't usually worth it imo
